I would distinguish between various engineering disciplines. In the world of electronics, there seems to be a strong trend towards Linux. Almost every major and many minor applications in this field have been ported to Linux, and I have been running a business in this field on Linux for two and a half years now. Perhaps this trend is partially due to engineers in electronics tending to be accustomed to Unix, and being strong in computer skills.
I only keep a Windows dual boot capability around for testing things that some customers expect to run under Windows (and to test with for occasional bits of Wine development).
As for spreadsheets, I don't do really fancy things. But I use Applixware, which seems to work pretty good. It appears that has become "Anywhere Realtime Spreadsheets" which is now put out by a company called VistaSource, and I have no idea how it might have changed in that transition.
